Rich Tessler

Hello! My name is Rich Tessler. I teach US History and Global Studies.

Prior to teaching here, I spent 12 years teaching middle school social studies at Zumbrota Mazeppa. I attended UW La Crosse for my undergraduate studies and Saint Mary's University for my Master's degree. I live in Rochester with my wife, three kids, a dog, two cats, two salamanders, and a turtle. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family, cycling, camping, fishing and boating.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at rtessler@pineisland.k12.mn.us, or call me at 507-358-4849 extension 3375.
